Is there any way of writing write code in an Excel95 workbook which
creates a CommandBar object (as distinct from a Toolbar object) when
opened in later versions i.e. code must work in Excel97 onwards but
not blow up in Excel95?

My first thought was conditional compilation but I find it's not
supported in Excel95 (VBA4?)

My second thought was to create an instance using late binding but
this won't work either. Not surprising because I know I can't
instantiate a CommandBar using early binding anyway i.e.

Dim oBar As Office.CommandBar
Set oBar = New Office.CommandBar ' << compile error

Any other ideas (or confirmation this just isn't possible)?
